A OONPKsAION.

J. Madison Wells, Ex-Governor OF
Louisiaus, arrived in New Orleans a
few days ago, from Alexandra, and
was interviewed by Times Democrat
reporter, to whom he made some con-
fessions concerning the part he played
in 1876 as president Of the infamous
Returning Board, which counted Til
den out OF and Hayes into the Presi-
Dental chair. He confesses that he
did dirty work then, just what he
leaves to be inferred, and that in re-
turn for /! kellogg, who was Governor,
promised to give him an Office, which
was, however, continued to Badger,
who, It will be remembered, was
Chief of Police In New Orleans when
Gen. Ogden bagged the whole posse.
Wells says tina. he was somewhat In
csnssd when he learned that Kellogg
was "going back" on him, but that he
Aaally agreed to surrender his claim
on Badgers agreeing in writing to
divide the emoluments Of the office
with him. It is his failure to do this
that has taken the old man to New
Orleans, where he has for years been
vainly trying to get Badger to "pony
up" This that cunning politician
has as psrsistently declined to do, be-
lieving that the written agreement
has been destroyed. But the willy
Wells has 1t in safe keeping, aud pro-
poses to make It ths basis Of q suit
that may, let us hope 1t will, end in
an expose OF the most gigantic Of all
the political frauds and outrages per
psirated by the Republicans during
the reconstruction period. 1t Is true
that "whsn rogues fall out homes
men come by their own"

JaoksSa tAis) CLar'sa,
The ArPRAL in 1884 first suggested
the nomination by the. Democrats OF a
Southern statesman for Vice Presi-
dent. 1t urged this upon the party as
measure OF justice to the South thai
would be accepted as proof that the
bloody chasm which had separated the
sections had really been closed, and
the people Of the North meant
all they said when they asserted that
the era of fraternity had been insugu-
rated. This suggestion was Endorsed
by the New York Herald and others Of
the leading papers Of the North, and
the hope was.generally expressed that
q Southerner would be named for the
second place on the ticket nominated
by the Ohicsgo Democratic Oonven'
ton. Whatever the objections to this
that overprudence might then have
dictated the management Of affairs by
Mr.. Cleveland must have swept them
all away. The business men OF the
country have seen that their Interests

In the iullness Of years, Col. Frank
M. White died, yesterday, after brief
illness, being conscious to the last.
Consoling the dear ones who stood
about his bed weeping because OF their
threatened loss, he told them he was
prepared for the change; that he had
endeavored to live an upright lifs and
fulfill his whole duty to them and to the
world. And 90. with the testimony Of
a good conscience, having lived be-
yond the. allotted span Of life, and
been al active, industrious man a.
most to bis last day, he passed away.
He had enjoyed wealth and
social distinction, but at the
end he laid stress upon his character,
upon the example he left and the
good name. Better than riches, and
more to be coveted, is a good name.
As it was a consolation to him in his
last moments when, in second, the
events Of bis life passed swiftly be-
fore him in review, 30 1t is to those he
leaves behind him. As his friend and
COMPLIANT, Col. Vance, tells, some men
had wronged him. He had nc
other measure for them bu,
his own integrity and uprightnest
and he was easily deceived. But de-
ceit, tIeachery nor dishonesty could
shake his confidence in human ma
ture. He had the strength of mora
conviction, was full Of moral courage
and an honest parpose in life, and. hi
bore his trisls and disappointment
cheerily ant' without q murmur. Col
White was useful citizen, had man
aged large properties wisely and eco
nomlcally, and dealt by corporation
as by individuals as he would be don,
by. He was faithful, gentle, kind ant
tender as true.

A rROsPEROUs RAILROAD.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad, which Ia mainly II not al
together owned by Boston people, Is
one OF the best conducted and best
paying railroads Of the country. Its
service Is excellent, and travellers are
almost universally loud in their COM
mendations OF its management and the
politeness and attention Of its officers.
Yesterday, at Topeka, the stockhold'
ers elected q board Of directors, which
Is nearly the same board as was elect
cd by the Southern Kansas railroad,
and she fifteenth annual report was
read, making an exhibit OF earnings
that is not often psralleled by rail-
roads west Of the Mississippi river.
The gross earnings are stated to have
been for the year $l5,9s4, 1907, tho ex-
penses and taxes $S,Sl3,9l1, the net
earnings $7,S7o,s05, which is swelled
to %, 02S,040 by receipts from other
sources, the surplus, after paying fixed
charges, sinking fund dues, dividends,
ETC., being $3.50, 3l8. The bonded debt
Was reduced s3S3, 900 in 1888 and is now
$40, 191 900. This is a very notable
and exceptional exhibit, and is one
that Is in marked contrast to those
made by railroad corporations whose
properties are located in thickly set
tied States aud have no such Ions
stretches Of unsettled and barrer
mountain country to traverse as thu
Santa Fe, and it induces the belle
that there must be something wronI
in the management, something rot
ten, Of which the people know notf
ing. The ssnta Fe is, in respect G

that Is desirable, and everything abor
